...enter and purchase. About one hundred and seventy floor tickets were sold for each day, and an additional one hundred and fifty gallery tickets for the last day, the sale of the latter being limited to five to each person.

It appears from the catalogue (which makes no account of the number of students who have entered the Scientific School since October) that the Scientific is numerically as strong as either the Divinity or the Theological schools. It seems to me that the Cooperative Society will need help from every available source...
